The Manu National Park is a protected area of global importance for biodiversity conservation due to its outstanding richness, vastness, and excellent conservation state. Scientists estimate that the park is inhabited by more than 200 species of mammals, 800 species of birds, 68 species of reptiles, and 77 species of amphibians.
This wildlife reserve is located at the confluence of the tropical Andes and the lowland forests of the Amazon. Its exceptional location has favored the emergence of extraordinarily diverse species and biological groups in a wide range of ecological circumstances.
A diverse mosaic of habitats and niches is produced by the enormous variation of height, microclimate, soils, and other ecological variables found in Manu National Park. There is a wide variety of plant biomes, from the andean grasslands, which appear uniform but are actually very diverse, to a variety of mostly pristine rainforests.
